Controversy

In August 2022, ENEOS CEO Tsutomu Sugimori resigned for what was described at the time as personal reasons. The following month, however, the company confirmed that the reason for Sugimori's departure was due to allegations that he sexually harassed and injured a woman working at a hostess bar in Okinawa, which were later substantiated. The company's statement followed a report about the incident in a weekly magazine.{{cite web |url=https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2022/09/f9037f4c197a-japan-oil-giant-says-misconduct-against-woman-led-to-ceo-resignation.html|title=Japan oil giant says misconduct against woman led to CEO resignation|date=21 September 2022|publisher=Kyodo News|access-date=19 December 2023}}

In December 2023, Takeshi Saito was dismissed as the president of ENEOS after an independent investigation validated claims that he inappropriately hugged a woman at a social gathering while intoxicated.{{cite web |url=https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2023/12/6f5da28b3067-japan-oil-firm-eneos-pres-dismissed-after-hugging-woman-while-drunk.html|title=Japan oil firm ENEOS president dismissed after hugging woman while drunk|date=19 December 2023|publisher=Kyodo News|access-date=19 December 2023}}
